Howdy Everyone:

Our first Winlink form test was a success.  Thank you to everyone that participated.

Highlights:

• Randy, KD0NSP, reported that he was headed for the State Line.  Might be legal trouble.  Hope to see him again soon. - ICS214A Received
• Chip, N0WKR, reported going to church before heading to the Montrose Tailgate Party.  Assuming he asked for forgiveness before he bought a bunch of new toys.  Good Job. - ICS214A Received
• Henry, KB0SNI, reported that he flew to California for Dinner!  I think I need a better job..... - ICS214A received
• Craig, KF0GDD, reported a nice list of accomplishments: walking dogs, yard work, workout time, regular work and more.  I'm going to have to up my daily productivity to keep up! - ICS214A received.

I know some people are working on their setup for HF, which is good.  However, participating using Telnet, via the Internet, is just as good.  Getting practice on using the Winlink software and becoming familiar with the ICS forms is a major part of the whole process.

While I am planning on doing the bi-weekly practice sessions, you will find we sending short messages on other related topics that don't necessary require a reply.  FYI
